Man, got on the scale this morning and im down 55 pounds since June. Your videos have helped me so much to diversify my menus and not get bored as I usually do with my meals. Thanks so much for the awesome content.
I struggled so hard making meal preps that were easy and delicious for 5 days and you have literally saved me. Your recipes are so delicious and easy it's incredible, thank you.
Just FYI you don’t really have to cool down that roux that much. You can temper the milk by adding a hit of the warm roux to the milk. Once the milk is up to temp, you can add it without fear of curdling.
Don't need to cool it at all. A bechamel is a roux plus milk and is one of the mother sauces. You also don't need to temper the milk, you can pour cold milk into a hot roux and everything will be fine. The yogurt is the real danger of curdling if added to a hot liquid but after adding the cold milk it should have brought the temp of the original gravy down far enough to add the yogurt and be ok. I'm actually in the process of making this recipe right now lol
I definitely forgot and threw the tomatoes in the same bowl with the other veggies, and also into the sauté 🤦. It was alright tho, jus cracked the heat a bit more n gave it some time to reduce the liquid.
Thanks so much for all of your great recipes! My 18 year old son wants to incorporate more protein to complement his weight training. I asked him to pick out the recipes and to help in the kitchen. Big win for me to have time with him in the kitchen. We eat dinner and then put the leftovers in the containers for his lunches. I had been trying to teach him the "mise en place" concept. When you put it in terms of "get your shit together" it clicked for him. 😂 I'm sure we will be trying this recipe soon.
Try poaching your chicken in salsa - it add hella lot of flavor. (The 2 for one tip is poach the chicken in 1 jar salsa + 1 jar water. When chicken is poached through, remove for recipe. Add one tin of diced tomato, 1 can of beans (drained), 1 cup frozen corn. Cumin, garlic, onion power, (for the madlads: ancho chile). Serve with tortilla chips and a little cheese and you have my family's favorite soup.
This recipe is legit. My plan was to make the salsa verde beef bowls today but I got shorted my beef on the grocery order. I had these in mind coming up and had the ingredients so I went for it. Just ate a portion for dinner and it was incredible. Thanks for the work you do.
I made this. It's delicious. I tweeked a couple of things to speed the process up 1) poach the chicken first with some left over vegetables. This is then your chicken "stock" 2) brown the vegies concurrently, before making the roux 3) prep the potatoes while the vegetables and chichen are going 4) cook everything in the same oven Great work, keep up the videos
Thanks for the great recipes. I’m just getting started cooking beyond cooking an excellent steak, and I greatly appreciated the variety of recipes on your site. As I had no clue what I wanted to cook. I found that it took me longer than listed, and left me with a number of kitchen items to clean. However, it turned out great.
I made the Big Mac bowls and they are delicious. I was just thinking what meal prep am I going to make next week, and here we go! Thank you so much for the awesome content.
This is just amazing he do not even know how much I appreciate these recipe. I am college student who just started going to gym and these really help alot. thanks
Thanks for the recipe. I ended up adding the tortilla step, sat aside a bit of the Roux/Queso to top the enchiladas, and just made them for dinner, also made fries out of the potatoes. They taste super good. I DO have about one of these prep servings of the mix left over. Thank you again, super good
i've made this dish a couple times and always rewatch the video to get a reminder on how to make. Just noticed for the first time on this watch through the Frozen containers during the queso part lol
Just made this for the first time and it’s awesome! Had a small heart attack because the sauce smelled…questionable…when it was finished but it turned out fine. Will definitely be in my meal prep rotation from here on out.
I will try this out for sure! A good tip on how to shred Chicken is to put them in a container, close it tight and then shake the hell out of it. It will shred by itself... Way easier and it is a good exercise as well LOL I tried it with a pressure cook pan and it worked (wait till it's room temperature of course) and as well as with a closed Tupperware.
Thank you so much for your content! It all looks so delicious! And my favorite thing is that all the ingredients you use are easily attainable! You’re the best!
Dude these recipes have been so good! I’ve tried the chimichurri bowls and the spicy adobo chicken bowls so far, which both came out really good! I’d love to see your take on a pasta dish using either whole wheat or veggie pasta, ya know, for the gainz 💪🏼
Have you considered using baking soda for potatoes (at least when boiling)? I heard it helps make them crispier. You might also want to try using better than bouillon chicken base. You can mix in 1 tsp with 4 cups of water to make a base and you'll still have much less sodium and mystery ingredients than when compared to buying a box of chicken stock/broth.
I am so glad I found this channel. So far I've made two of your recipes and they were both 10/10. Can't wait to make this one next. Keep up the awesome work!
WAOW! Have only tried two of your recepi so far but damn this one hits the spot!. I love potatoes and hate rice so this is perfect, also with the sauce its so easy to eat everything since nothing is dry.
Thanks for all these recipes, I kinda went too hard on weightloss tracking every single thing in a severe deficit and went from 250lbs to 130lbs in 1 year and kept it off from 2020 to 2022, but december 14th 2022 i lost my mind and regained 110lbs from dec 14th to august 19th, i started losing weight again on august 19th 2023 weighing in at 242lbs. Currently I'm 192lbs and i havnt been tracking i just have been eating mindfully making sure to eat lean meats and lots of veggies with a carb source
Glad I found this channel, nice recipe! Personally I divide the portions into aluminum trays the same size as your plastic ones, but I reheat in the oven because I find it better. Cheers!
Not sure you are still reading these, but mine turned out a tad soupy (still really good). I wonder what I did wrong? Any tips? Thank you for this content sir, it is much appreciated. Haven't had a bad thing yet!
Same. I think the next time I make it, I'm gonna put it in the oven without the cheese and just bake it longer, and later on pop it out and add the cheese. Bake it for a while longer. I didn't want to burn the cheese which is why I took it out. It was still good though.
Get a big pan with high sides, it will help you so much. Its either to small or you have no sides on yours and you have to be so careful not to make an absolute mess.
1:07. And kill the fridge 🤦🏼♂️ Not gonna lie though this is one of my favorite channels. Motivates the crap out of me to eat healthy and cook more. Thank You for the recipes.
I guess I'll try this again. It looked like I needed more butter for the roux so I added some in with flour already in the pan. Tried to add more chicken broth but it looks like creamy mashed potatoes now.
For a roux you want equal parts fat and flour. So if you're using 1/4 cup of flour you would want 1/4 of butter or some other kind of oil. And you have to keep it moving or it will split and get the results you described. Another thing you could try is to use xanthan gum dispersed in a little bit of oil instead of a roux.
you know a mans disiplined enough to stick to meal prep when based on seeing that Frozen cup on screen he's had to listen to Let it Go at least 10 times in the last 24 hours
Man, got on the scale this morning and im down 55 pounds since June. Your videos have helped me so much to diversify my menus and not get bored as I usually do with my meals. Thanks so much for the awesome content.
LETS GOOOOO Amazing 😎
ur a beast bro
Congrats man ! Keep up the work 💪🏼
hell yeah dude, keep it up!
Pls do not stop making these recipes. They are great and help me a lot on my training days ^^
Glad you like them 😎
Thank you for including both volumes and weights on the ingredients
I struggled so hard making meal preps that were easy and delicious for 5 days and you have literally saved me. Your recipes are so delicious and easy it's incredible, thank you.

👍👍
Big brain way to do it
yes, but it also allows him to do other things at the same time while its cooling.
I supplemented with almond milk and it turned out great!
Don't need to cool it at all. A bechamel is a roux plus milk and is one of the mother sauces. You also don't need to temper the milk, you can pour cold milk into a hot roux and everything will be fine.

I'm actually in the process of making this recipe right now lol
MAKING!!! Oh man I can't believe meal prep channels aren't more popular, this is excellent
Two notes: 1) Don't accidentally put the tomatoes in the pan with your other veggies, and 2) I made this with chicken thighs and it came out great.
i feel like tomatoes are only good heated up if you're going to eat it right away.
I definitely forgot and threw the tomatoes in the same bowl with the other veggies, and also into the sauté 🤦. It was alright tho, jus cracked the heat a bit more n gave it some time to reduce the liquid.
Yeah, I definitely goofed and made this mistake.
Too late, still tastes great tho 😅
Thanks so much for all of your great recipes! My 18 year old son wants to incorporate more protein to complement his weight training. I asked him to pick out the recipes and to help in the kitchen.

I'm sure we will be trying this recipe soon.
I love that you’re supporting your son with his goals, while also bonding with him❤️
This is cute
you're a great mom!
Cooking with family are easily the best memories anyone can have. A+ mom.
Jacosta syndrome. Yuck.

As someone who grew up only knowing the metric system, thank you for converting everything into grams and °c it really makes a difference

Wow just made this recipe, cant believe how filling this is for the amount of calories, tastes awesome!
Just made this today and all I can say is WOW! Absolutely delicious, thank you so much for all of the great recipes you post!!

Quickly became one of my favourite cooking channels, amazing vids

The Frozen Cups are great. My Daughter is going wild for this. Thank you... 🤣
I made the buffalo chicken meal prep tonight, it was delish. Can’t believe I ate veggies, feels like it has been years, LOL. Thanks for the new recipe

WAOW! Have only tried two of your recepi so far but damn this one hits the spot!. I love potatoes and hate rice so this is perfect, also with the sauce its so easy to eat everything since nothing is dry.

Thanks for all these recipes, I kinda went too hard on weightloss tracking every single thing in a severe deficit and went from 250lbs to 130lbs in 1 year and kept it off from 2020 to 2022, but december 14th 2022 i lost my mind and regained 110lbs from dec 14th to august 19th, i started losing weight again on august 19th 2023 weighing in at 242lbs.

genuinely love this dudes channel. no homo
Just made this today, absolutely delicious
Thank you glad you liked it 😎
You sr!!! Are underrated!!
I'll be making this one for next week thanks
love it! this is so close to my macros I think I can make this work! If there's more like this, you may have just earned a new subscriber haha.
This looks delicious
Keep making more videos. I like your meal preps more than other UA-camrs
Thank you! Will do!
Another quick way to shred chicken is use a hand mixer. We do this all the time making other things that need shredded chicken.
I’m in Quebec, can’t find for the life of me the canned green chilies so I use the next best thing : canned pickled jalapenos. BRINGS UP THE HEAT
Buy this man some pots and pans 🤣🤣 love your vids super helpful.
Lol
Wow looks like another winner Josh. Flavor town here I gooooo
Glad I found this channel, nice recipe!
Personally I divide the portions into aluminum trays the same size as your plastic ones, but I reheat in the oven because I find it better.
Cheers!
Thank you 🙏
God I love your channel. Seriously, keep it up! I hope to watch your subscriber count keep growing!
thank you 😎
Guy Fieri might show up in your kitchen, because you’re going to Flavortown lol
Not sure you are still reading these, but mine turned out a tad soupy (still really good). I wonder what I did wrong? Any tips? Thank you for this content sir, it is much appreciated. Haven't had a bad thing yet!
Same. I think the next time I make it, I'm gonna put it in the oven without the cheese and just bake it longer, and later on pop it out and add the cheese. Bake it for a while longer. I didn't want to burn the cheese which is why I took it out. It was still good though.
Cook your roux longer to thicken it to the right consistency to avoid a soupy finish just let it thicken up more
This looks delicious! Thanks yo
Thank you 🙏
My favorite so far that I’ve made a welcome break from rice bowls 😭😂
Hey great videos. Does your website show a meal prep with this for 3 days? Not 6? Just curious
Seriously well done video. Congrats, Josh! Definitely on the Like list!
Thank you 😎
My favourite meal prep Chef ❤️
thank you 😎
so glad I found your channel, my meal preps were getting boring
What air fryer do you have?
Get a big pan with high sides, it will help you so much. Its either to small or you have no sides on yours and you have to be so careful not to make an absolute mess.
@ 2:50 I think you meant to say "now, if you don't have an *air fryer*".
1:07. And kill the fridge 🤦🏼♂️ Not gonna lie though this is one of my favorite channels. Motivates the crap out of me to eat healthy and cook more. Thank You for the recipes.
Would this be do-able in a crockpot (minus the potatoes)?
“Guy Might show up in your kitchen because you are going to flavor town.” 😂
Damn, I’m 2 hours too late! Making this for next week!
Make Chili con carne. I've done it a few times, and it's great, but do want to see you make it and maybe see some tricks for improvement
where tf have you been all my life??? keep it up yo!
What would be a good way to give this some spice?
Also a fitness/macros cooking channel that actually made a roux, fun stuff.
What can i put in for the canned green chilies? Because in Germany we dont have it in the Supermarket :(
Nice content! Btw, don't scrap the sharp end of the knife on the board sideways, it will dull it. :)
I guess I'll try this again. It looked like I needed more butter for the roux so I added some in with flour already in the pan. Tried to add more chicken broth but it looks like creamy mashed potatoes now.

@FlexibleToast thank you my boy! I used heavy cream to fix it thanks to my friend recommending it
can this be used for diabetics
Made this tonight. O. M. G.
you know a mans disiplined enough to stick to meal prep when based on seeing that Frozen cup on screen he's had to listen to Let it Go at least 10 times in the last 24 hours
Quick question, when we "come back" to the roux should we have it over low heat or anything while adding milk, yogurt, etc.? or just stir em in cold
Yes. Whoops. May have forgot to mention that. Put it back on the heat and bring it up to temperature together
Would boiling the chicken in chicken broth, instead of water, add better flavoring by chance?
Where do I get a burner like that one
I've never put Greek yogurt in a white sauce, and I don't know why I'm excited to.
Broo 5:17 had me dead 😂😂😂😂
Could I use almond milk?
Just discovered your page and gonna try your recipes out. But what is the best way to store the prep food? Should I freeze it?
I keep everything in the fridge but for no longer than 5 days
Is there an disadvantage to eat food mostly cold ?
Just made this rn and this shit is amazing
Could you do something with teriyaki chicken?
I’ll add it to the list
Damn, bro. Your recipes just don’t miss. Shit is delicious.
What kind of milk do you recommend using? Whole, 1%,2%, or skim? Or does it make no difference?
how do you count the macros when they're all mixed up? im curious
Hey do you think you could do a Chinese fried rice meal prep?
I’ll add it to the list
@@TheMealPrepManual Thanks, can't wait! I love it egg fried too, getting choline and protein from a carb source.
